re: Alabama-Clemson 1&2...which was more fun to watch?

most of the plays both years for Bama were big chunk plays. the first year it was mostly all big chunk plays to Howard.

i thought Bama's offense was better against CLemson than Washington so i don't understand mentioning the OC. the reason saban let Kiffen go is he thought Kiffen wasn't engaged against Washington.

Yes, there were big plays. I'm not sure what you think this is evidence of. Big plays are usually crucial in games between two top teams with few weakness that can be exploited consistently. That doesn't mean Hurts was anywhere near as accurate as Coker.

I mentioned the OC because people will (quite rightly in many cases) lay the blame there. My point is that the OC wasn't the one making Hurts an inaccurate passer. That was on Hurts himself. In other words, it actually gives Clemson oblique support by taking away the "well, we had a new OC with one week's experience calling plays" excuse, at least as far as Hurts is concerned.
